MODERATELY ACTIVE.

The Stock Market Eeverish and Weak,
With Prices Lower Than on Satur-
day.
New YORK, Nov. 2S.-The stock market
was moderately active but feverlsh and
weak nearly all day long, leaving prices at
the close materially lower than on Satur-
day. The general fear Of renewal Of
tight money in the near future induced
some selling by holders Of long stock, which
fear was aided by the reports Of the trouble
among the trunk lines over the rates on
certain east bound freight, but the impres'
sion upon values would have been insgniii-
cant but for the hammering OF the bears
and the late bulls, who are now looking for
reaction. The money market was again
factor also, and rates were bid up to per
cent, though loans were made as low as 4,
and the close at D. The declines were very
uniform among the speculative stocks.
The buying was very scattered and prin-
cipally by commission people, who were
extremely cautious. The opening was very
week at declines extending to per cent,
and while the market was quiet, with mar
row fluctuations In the early trading, every
thing soon gave way. There was no rally
or reaction until the last hour, when the
buying became more marked and slight
fractions were regained. The close was
heavy at or near the lowest prices Of the
day.
Money on call has been easy, ranging
from 3 TO Z, last loan at 8, and clos
ing offered at 3. Sterling exchange is dull,
but steady to firm. Actual business at 4S2
to 1891 for 60.day bills, and 4s5i to 1851 for
demand. Posted rates 1921 to 1861. Gov
eminent bonds dull and heavy. State bonds
dull and steady.
Treasury balances-Coln, $3.50, 1876;
currency, $10,s2l $50.

and coherently developed. That

That he should engage himself to a

CAPT. HALLS STATEMENT
OF THE BURNING OF THE CHESA-
PEAKE.


The 4 PPEAL Sunday morning gave
an account of the burning OF the
steamer Chesapeake, at New Madrid,
$50 miles above this city. The crew
of the i'll fated steamer arrived here
Sunday Of ernoon on the steamer
Arkansas City. Capt. w. P. Hall was
SEEN by an APPEAL reporter and upon
bang asked the question, "How did
the FIRE originate2" he replied: 81 do
not know, but think il started in the
laundry room, as the fire was first dis
covered aft OF the wheel house, on the
starboard side, and that Is where the
laundry room is situated" When the
alarm of fl Q was given by the watch
man, Capt. Hall was on the roof. He
Immediately ordered Pilot Austin,
who was on watch and at the wheel,
to head the boat for the shore.
This ths pilot did, and both
the Captain and Pilot remained
at their posts until two lines had been
run ashore and the boat made fast,
which allowed all the passengers and
others to get off the burning steamer
Capt. Hall attempted to save some
5000 that was in the safe, but he was
